Tv Season Info

The death of a young boy sparks a complex murder investigation that puts a entire town, its residents and its secrets under a national spotlight. Local police officer Ellie Miller (Olivia Colman) is begrudgingly teamed up with shady newcomer D.I. Alec Hardy (David Tennant) on the tense case. And it's not long before she is forced to look at her own community in a whole new, disturbing, light.

Broadchurch doesn't come with many stylistic flourishes -- it's a pretty straightforward crime story. But the care given to its characters and the damage the crime inflicts on the town make it one of the best scripted series of the summer.

Audience Reviews for Broadchurch: Season 1

David Tennant and Olivia Colman both turn in immaculate performances as cops in a quiet seaside town in the UK dealing with a murder investigation. The writing is great as well where it gives you a feeling that anyone in the town could've committed the crime. Keeps you guessing right up until the end.

Not ambitous yet an overwhelming achievement, Broadchurch is able to addictively shine despite its common premise, held high by its smartly-built pacing and sharp writing, beautifully brought together by its impressive footage of scenery and a sharp performance from David Tennant.
